TARZAN 1 o/THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE After the death in 1890 of John Clayton, I.ord Grrystoke, and his wife. Lady Alice, in the African jungles. a mother ape steals their infant son Tarzan. and places her own dead babe in the cradle. - At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read Eng-lisU books in his father's cabin, but can speak only ape Janruag-e. He finds his father’s photo, diary and a locket. As the diary is in French Tarzan does not levn tho riddle of his strange life. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke: his companion. Jane Porter and her .colored maid, Esmeralda. Prof. A chimed es Q. Porter, Jane's father, and his secretary. Bam. uel J. Philander, bury the skeletons found in the cabin and notice the tiny one is not human. They ascertain from a crest ring and John Clayton's name in his books that the bones are of J-ord and Lady Greystoke. Tarzan reads a letter written by Jane saying her father borrowed SIO,OOO from Robert Canler and went in search of buried treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father in Africa. Half starved survivors of the Arrow tell Professor Porter where they hid the chest, but he fails to find it. Tarzan has exhumed and reburied it. Jane is stolen by an ape. Signal fires bring a rescue boat and the crew, headed by Lieut. D'Arnot. search for her. Jane embraces Tarzan ardently when he kills the ape to save her. She notices Tarzan's resemblance to the miniature In his locket. He insists she wear it and carries her to the cabin. Tarzan secretly rescues D’Arnot from savages. His men return without him. Tarzan nurses D'Arnot and communicatee with him by writing on bark. D'Arnot teaches Tarzan to speak French. When the two return to the cabin the entire Fiarty has sailed. Jane leaves a ,npte or Tarzan. Her departure hurts him deeply. D'Arnot and Tarzan start for the nearest port of civilization, where they intend chartering a boat and returning for the chest, which Tarzan Intends taking to Jane in America. He tells D’Arnot his mother was kala. an ape. GO ON WITH THE STORY ’‘Tarzan,’* he said at length, “It is Impossible that the ape, Kala. was your mother. If such a thing can be, which I doubt, you would have inherited some of th© characteristics of the ape, but you have not —you are pure man, and, I should say, the offspring of highly bred and intelligent parents. “Have you not the slighest clew to your past?” “Not the slightest,” replied Tarzan. “No writings In the cabin that might have told of something of the lives of Its original inmates?” *T have read everything that was In the cabin, with the exception of one book, which I know now to be written In a language other than English. Possibly you can read it.” Tarzan fished the little black dairy from the bottom of his quiver, and handed It to his companion. D’Arnot glanced at the title page. "It Is the diary of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, an English nobleman, and It Is written in French,” he said. Then he proceeded to read the diary that had been written over twenty years before, and which recorded the details of the story which we already know —the story of adventure, hardships and sorrow of John Clayton and his wifg Alice, from the day they left England until an hour before he was struck down by Kerchak. D’Arnot read aloud. Only when the little babe was mentioned did the tone of the diary alter from the habitual note of despair which had crept Into It by degrees after the first two Months upon the shore. Then the passages were tinged with a subdued happiness that was even sadder than the rest. One entry showed an almost hopeful spirit: FUISH THE NONETS BEFORE BREAKFAST No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Eating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache In the kidneys, or your back hurts, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a lablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast, and In a few days your kidneys may act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acida In the system, so they no longer ■auae irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is Inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent llthia-w&ter drink which everyone should take now and then to heip keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complications. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.

Today our little boy is 6 months old. He is sitting in Alice’s lap beside the table where I am writing—a happy, healthy, perfect child. Somehow, even against all reason, I seem to see him a grown man, taking his father’s place in the world—the second Clayton—and bringing added honors to the house of Greystoke. There—as though to give my prophecy the Weight of his endorsement—he has grabbed my pen in his chubby fist and with his inkebegrimed little fingers has placed the seal of his tiny finger prints upon the page. And there, on' the margin of the page, were the partially blurred imprints of four wee fingers and the outer half of the thumb. "Well! Tarzan of the Apes, what think you?” D'Arnot. “Does not this little book clear up the mystery of your parentage? “Why man, you are Lord Greystoke.” Tarzan'shook his head. “The book speaks of but one child,” he replied. "Its little skeleton lay In the crib, where it died crying for nourishment from the first time I entered the cabin until Professor's Porter’s party burled it, with its father and mother, beside the cabin. “No, that was the babe the book speaks of—and the mystery of my origin in deeper than before, for I have thought much of late of the possibility of that cabin having been my birthplace. “I am afraid that Kala spoke the truth,” he concluded sadly. A week later the two men came suddenly upon a clearing in the forest. In the distance were several buildings surrounded by a strong palisade. Between them and the enclosure stretched a cultivated field In which a number of negroes were working. The two halted at the edge of the jungle. Presently one of the blacks looked up, and beholding Tarzan, turned, shrieking, toward the palisade. In an Instant the air was filled with cries of terror from the fleeing gardeners, but before any had reached the palisade a white man emerged from the enclosure, rifle in hand, to discover the cause ol the commotion. What he saw brought his rifle to his shoulder, and Tarzan of the Apes would have felt cold lead once again had not D’Arnot cried loudly to the man with the leveled gun: “Do not fire! We are friends'.” “Halt, then!” was the reply. “Stop, Tarzan!” cried D’Arnot. “He thinks we are enemies.” “What manner of men are you?” he asked. In F’rench. “White men,” replied D’Arnot. “We have been lost in the jungle for a long time.” “I am Father Constantine of the French mission here.” he said, “and I am glad to welcome you.” “This Is Monsieur Tarzan, Father Constantine,” replied D’Arnot, indicating the ape-man; and as the priest extended his hand to Tarzan, D’Arnot added, “and I am Paul Arnot of the French navy.” Father Constantine took the hand which Tarzan extended in Imitation of the priest’s act, while the latter took in the superb physique and handsome face in one quick, keen glance. And thus came Tarzan of the Apes to the first outpost of civilization. For a week they remained there, and the ape-man, keenly observant, learned much of the ways of men; while black women sewed upon white duck garments for himself and D’Arnot that they might continue their journey properly clothed. CHAPTER XXVI The Height of Civilization Another month brought them to a little group of buildings at the mouth of a wide river, and there Tarzan saw many boats, and was filled with the old timidity of the wild thing by the sight of many men. The knife and fork, so contemptuously flung aside a month before, Tarzan now manipulated as exquisitely as did the polished D’Arnot. So apt a pupil had he been that the young Frenchman had labored assiduously to make of Tarzan of the Apes a polished gentleman in so far as nicety of manners and speech were concerned. “God made you a gentleman at heart, my friend," D’Arnot had said; “but we want his works to show upon the exterior also.” As soon as they had reached the little port, D’Arnot had cabled his government of his safety, and requested a three-months leave, which had been granted. He had also cabled his bankers for funds, and the inforced wait of a month, under which both chafed, was due to their inability to charter a vessel for the return to Tarzan’s jungle after the treasure. During the stay at the coast town “Monsieur Tarzan” became the wonder of both whites and blacks. As Tarzan and D’Arnot sat at dinner with a number of other whites, the talk fell upon lions and lion hunting. Opinion was divided as to the bravery of the king of beasts—some maintaining that he was an arrant coward, but all agreeing that it was with a feeling of greater security that they gripped their express rifles when the monarch of the jungle roared about a camp at night. D’Arnot and Tarzan had agreed that his past.be kept secret, and so non 6 other than the F’rench officer knew of the ape-man’s familiarity with the bests of the pjungle. “Monsieur Tai-zan has not expressed himself,” said one of the party. “A man of his prowess who has spent some time in Africa, must

have had experiences with lions — yes?” “Some,” replied Tarzan, dryly. “For myself, I always assume that a lion is ferocious, and so 1 am never caught off my guard.” “There would be little pleasure in hunting,” retorted the first speaker, “if one Is afraid of the thing he hunts.” D’Arnot smiled. Tarzan afraid! “I do not exactly understand what you mean by fear,” said Tarzan. To me the only pleasure In the hunt Is the knowledge that the hunted thing has power to harm me as much as I have to harm him. “If J went out with a couple of rifles and a gun bearer, and twenty or thirty beaters, to hunt a Hon, I should not feel that the lion had much chance, and so the pleasure of the hunt would be lessened in proportion to 'the increased safety which I felt.” “Then I am to take it that Monsieur Tarzan Would prefer to go naked into the jungle, armed only with a jack knife, to kill the king of beasts,” laughed the other, good natu redly, but with the merest touch of sarcasm in his tone. “And a piece of rope,” added Tarzan. Just then the deep roar of a lion sounded from the distant Jungle, as though to challenge whoever dared enter the lists with him. “There is your opportunity. Monsieur Tarzan,” bantered the Frenchman. "I am not hungry,” said Tarzan simply. The men laughed, all but D’Arnot. He alone knew that a savage beast had spoken its simple reason through the lips of the “But you are afraid, just as any of us would be, to go out there naked, armed only with a knife and a piece of rope,” said the banterer. ‘ls it not so?” “No,” replied Tarzan. “Only a fool performs any act without reason.” \ “Five thousand francs is a reason,” said tho other. “I wager you that amount you cannot briag back a Hon from the jungle under the conditions we have named—naked and armed only with a knife and a piece of rope.”

Tarzan glanced toward D’Arnot and nodded his head. “Make it ten thousand,” said D’Arnot. “Done,” replied the other. Tarzan arose. “You are not going now,” exclaimed the wagerer—"at night?” “Why not?" asked Tarzan. "Numa walks abroad at night—it will be easier to find him.” “No,” said the other, "I do not want your blood upon my hands. It will be foolhardy enough if you go forth by day.” "I shall go now,” replied Tarzan, and went to his room for his knife and rope. The men accompanied him to the edge of the jungle, where he left his clothes in a small storehouse. But when he would have entered the blackness of the undergrowth they tried to dissuade him; and the wagerer was most insistent of all that he abandon his foolin' My venture. "I will accede that you have won,” he said, “and the ten thousand francs are yours if you will but give up this foolish attempt, which can only end in your death.” Tarzan laughed, and in another moment the jungle had swallowed him. The men stood silent for some moments and then slowly turned and W'alked back to the hotel veranda. Tarzan had no sooner entered the jungle than he took to the trees, and it was with a feeling of exultant freedom that he swung once more through the forest branches. Now he caught the seen* of Numa, for he was traveling up wind. Presently his quick ears detected the familiar sound of/padded feet and the brushing of a huge, furclad body through the undergrowth. Tarzan came quietly above the unsuspecting beast and silently stalked him until he came into a little patch of moonlight. Then the quick noose settled and tightened about the tawny throat, and, as ho had done it a hundred times in the past, Tarzan made fast the end to a strong branch and. while the beast fought and clawed for freedom, dropped to the ground behind him, and leaping upon the great back, plunged his long thin blade a dozen times into the fierce heart. Then with his foot upon the carcass of Numa, he raised his voice in the awesome victory cry of his savage tribe. Copyright, A. C. McClurg & Cos„ 1914. (Continued in Neat Issue)/

“In Time of Peace—” It does not pay to neglect In time of peace the defenses upon which the nation relies. To save money today by putting off progress in military affairs always from this year to the next and from the next to the next is to create an immediate economy in money matters at the expense of future waste. A nation adopting such an attitude on suddenly finding itself in trouble must always reverse its action and spend money wildly in order to save time. —Report of the Secretry of War.
